Along Together

Although charming, this VR platformer misses its mark by making redundant puzzles and not utilizing its VR capabilities. GRAPHICS The graphics in this game fit a nice cartoon world, but I have seen better. Definitely doesn't compare to the cartoon-realism in say Moss or the hyper-cartoon VR game Lucky's Tale. 1/2 Music/Sound Effects Other than the music track rolling during the beginning and end credits, the music was average. As for the music track in the main menu, I actually thoroughly enjoyed listening to it and found it to be a good tune. Sound effects are very average. This includes carts rolling, cars crashing, and apples falling out of trees. 1/2 Storyline/Bugs Story is basically nonexistent. Here is the story, you are a kid and you lost your dog. You have to find your dog through a series of areas. You find your dog. Game End. I found some bugs during the 3rd and final world during the junkyard section. This included map clipping and in one rare instance, a car totally bugged out. 0.5/2 Pacing Pacing is not done too well, as the game fails to make use of VR mechanics to keep the game fresh. At the beginning of the game, I believed that the one interaction in the first level, "slingshot mechanic" was very unique and hoped for more things like that. The slingshot was re-used for all levels, and no other unique VR mechanics were introduced. The only things that were introduced were new puzzle ideas and level designs (which weren't all too different). 1/2 Gameplay/Length Like I said in the pacing section, gameplay is very bland and the puzzles were at best, mediocre, as there was a lot of redundant back and forth. However, one thing I found very unique about this game were the 15 levels collectibles. Each collectible served as a toy that the kid that you play as could grab, when you travel back to hub treehouse, you are able to play with all your collectibles. This was a very unique mechanic, which I wish was slightly expanded upon. Length of the game is up to the player, but it took me approximately 2.6 hours to beat the game with only 2 collectibles missing. I'm guessing this game could definitely become 3 hours if you took the time to look for all collectibles. 1/2 FINAL VERDICT Although charming and sweet, this game just isn't the right VR platformer on the market. With great titles such as Moss that are consistently being updated, I see no reason for you (the consumer) to buy this title. If it utilized more VR mechanics, perhaphs it could attain a higher score. For now, I give this game a 4.5/10 (BELOW AVERAGE).

Very awesome game! And I am not a fan of puzzle games in general, due to my very impatient personality. I cannot afford to spend hours of my precious time trying to solve a puzzle....it's just too frustrating for me. So even if you do not like puzzle games, I will think this one will surprisingly impress you. I just cannot understand the only two (2) negative reviews at the time of this writing. I did not experience anything that would cause me to write a negative review about this very creative and imaginative game by the Developer. By the way, this developer has a couple of other games that I purchased in a 3-Game bundle, and they are all fantastic, and very affordable when bundled. It took me eight (8) hours to get through all three (3) levels, and I know people that have paid much more than the full retail price of $15 for that much time to complete a game. There is good replay value as well after sufficient time has passed, and you forget some of the puzzles. So I will likely come back to this one after some time passes...it was that much fun to play more than once. Developer, if you are still out there, please keep your games coming. You are a very talented VR game creator.

Pretty cute and very easy to play game. But I got sadly sick from it cause of the way the movement of the camera was solved. I therefor can not recommend the game. I had to stop playing it because of it. I also found that the puzzles repeated each other in every level. So basically if you played one you played them all. I played until the second or third floor in the first cavern.

Sympathique petit plateformeur-puzzle indé en VR pas sans défauts qui se rapprochera du style de Moss (mais sans les combats), à savoir d'un côté diriger un perso & de l'autre l'aider à passer des obstacles & puzzles environnementaux avec notre main divine. On aura le choix entre 2 type de contrôles : Une version point n' click où l'enfant suivra notre traceur au sol & où on interagira avec notre main de loin sur les éléments du décor mais bizarrement sans pouvoir faire les 2 à la fois, les gâchettes des 2 contrôleurs étant liés au 2. (au final un seul contrôleur suffira...) Une autre version avec un contrôle direct du perso au Pad gauche mais avec l'interaction des objets qui se fera avec la gâchette droite pour attraper & le Pad gauche pour les mouvements (pas très intuitif).... Dans les 2 cas par contre, les sauts & les passages d'obstacles se feront automatiquement par le perso en fonction de la direction. De même, les déplacements du perso ont quelques ratés & des ralentissements quand il court. La caméra se déplacera automatiquement aussi en suivant le perso à des endroits fixes. Graphiquement c'est propre dans l'ensemble mais très générique, en version cartoon simpliste & low-poly, pas très détaillé du tout. Au final 13 petits niveaux agréables a parcourir & pas très compliqués pour un petit jeu mignon... (sous HTC Vive Pro 2)

Увы, но довольно унылая детскяа головоломка.

Not my normal type of game. No blood, no horror, no online multiplayer, and yet I enjoyed the simple ride. You might say it’s a kiddie game, but at 52 I played it from start to finish and would recommend it to anyone for a nice change of pace game. Now time to get back to War Dust and Pavlov 😀

Played on HTC Vive Pro/Index controllers/RTX2060Super Oh the game is so cute, and well done. The graphics are excellent and cartoony, the puzzles are quite easy but very fun. I took me about 3 hours, but that was with replaying 1 'room' as I had missed the treasure in my first play of that 'room'. I paid 3,99 euro's when it was on sale, and it's definitely worth the price. Looking forward to playing the other games by this developer, and hope they'll have a sequel to 'Along Together' as I don't mind seeing more of the little girl and her dog (I guided the girl, might do a replay guiding the boy, but I don't think there will be any difference).

Jugado con Samsung odyssey +, un indie que está muy bien, para echar un par de tardes resolviendo puzzles, tiene una estética infantil, pero con algunos puzzles te tienes que estrujar el coco un rato. Si has jugado y te han gustado juegos como Moss, este te gustará, aunque está a un nivel inferior.

We got stuck a few minutes in where you're supposed to flip a lever to drop a draw bridge. It displays a open hand above it like you're supposed to wave or high five it or something but our whole family is unable to figure it out. :( Unfortunately there's not much guidance or help so our kid has no chance of figuring it out.
